Since graduating almost 3 weeks ago, I am embarrassed to say I've only run twice. The weather, a heavy cold and a social event has meant I've slacked right off. Went on a short run yesterday, but with my long-legged 21 year old daughter, who can't run as far as me (yet) but boy, does she run a lot faster....... Losing my mojo a bit and this awful weather really isn't helping.

You'll soon get back into it! Think you might have to consider running in the rain tho! It is fine once you get going - I recommend a baseball type cap (wouldnt have seen me in one of those before running!) to keep the rain out of your eyes!

I found I lost a bit of oomph a few weeks after graduating so signed up for a 10k (I did one 5k parkrun first) and downloaded a training programme from Runner's World. That has kept me motivated and I haven't missed a run since, apart from a 10 day break due to a chest infection.
